Clover Road Baptist Church SEARCHED In Sandra Cantu Slaying

The pastor of a church being searched as part of the investigation into the slaying of Sandra Cantu lives in the same mobile home park as the little girl and that he and his wife were friends with her.

Police said this morning that they will search Clover Road Baptist Church for evidence. The property, located just a short distance away from the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park where Sandra, 8, was last seen, has been blocked off with yellow crime scene tape since late last night. Police last night referred to the site an "active crime scene."

The pastor, Lane Lawless, has been at the church since 1981. Lawless's wife, Connie Lawless, said the couple last night talking to police and said they were questioned because they know Sandra and her family and were friends with her.
